| Wholesale Pricing?
DJ: The FCC should not set aside essential facilities for the exclusive use of a single company. In all cases, the company which buried the wires should get a return on it's investment, and it should sell wholesale access to that essential facility to others. If one of those is an affiliated ISP, all the better - but there's no legitimate claim that there's a downside in wholesale access.
That is so true. I've noticed that many folks talk about CLECs and ISPs always getting a "free ride on a network they don't own" on this forum.
Can you go into some more detail on wholesale prices to you (roughly) vs. wholesale prices for a small ISP vs. ATT retail?
And on another note, how accomodating is ATT in getting you access to an ordering system, ticketing system, etc.? I briefly dealt with Verizon east in the early days of wholesale and it was an absolute mess (on purpose?).

| I think I can give you some generalistics.
I know for a fact that all ISP parteners of AT&T Advanced Solutions have access to contact the ISPSC (ISP Service center) for tickets and order issues and such. I believe they also can get software systems to place orders and such against ASI. I think they are even web based, but not for sure on that one. |

How is it "competing" when you do not own the lines that the service is provided on??
End franchise agreements, open the market to real competition, lay your own lines, you bum. The lines are not owned by the state, they are held by a private company. Stealing is stealing no matter how you try to word it. Franchising at the local level is the problem, it is nothing more than a state controlled monopoly, thanks to the leftist......... |
